Hi there

It depends what for

A fluorescent microscope is easy to identify microalgae from bacteria due to chlorophyll

Even in normal light microscope you can sometimes see green microalgae vs. transparent bacteria

Among different microalgae sometimes the amount of chlorophyll changes but not always, they do have different morphology

Hope this helps

Hi Shahla,

Please contact with Dr.Leyla Uslu at Çukurova University, Fisheries Faculty in Adana/Turkey

Good Luck

Microscopy can help you. Different organisms have different forms. So, light microscopy can be good solution.
